Projects are never static. As they progress, they will go through a series of steps and cycles that will guide them to completion. These steps and cycles will vary depending on their purpose and the organization that designed them, but there are common factors that affect every project.

The five project steps they focus on are: define the scope of your plan, - develop goals and objectives, - plan your work, - establish a monitoring and evaluation system, and - communicate and follow up.
